A new battle for Fairy Tail has begun and it's held by a man named Muramasa. He's kidnapped tons of children and forced all of Fairy Tail to fight each other with four of his comrades taking part. Except Erza and Ichigo who were trapped at the guild by one of the enchantments that were placed all over Magnolia.

"Let me out!" Ichigo said as he kept beating against the barrier.

"Ichigo, that isn't going to work." Erza said.

"I have to do something. Orihime could be hurt and a whole lot is going on." Ichigo said. "I don't get it. Grimmjow isn't here so how did he get out?"

"Wait, do you hear something?" Erza said. They heard some sort of strange munching sound.

"What's all the ruckus?" They looked up to the upper floor and saw Grimmjow with a piece of meat.

"You're still here?!" Both of them shouted.

"Heart of Fairy"

"Why the hell are you eating meat?" Ichigo said.

"With everyone else out of the guild, this would be my best chance to get some meat." Grimmjow said.

"Do you even care that there are children missing? Are you even aware of what's going on?" Ichigo said.

"Grimmjow, this Muramasa is forcing other members to fight each other. More than half of the members have fallen." Erza said.

"So we get to fight? That's interesting. Count me on in this." Grimmjow said.

"Nice to see where you're priorities are at." Ichigo said with disappointment, but he got a laugh when Grimmjow walked right into the wall.

"What the hell?" Grimmjow said.

"This barrier keeps myself and spirit slayers from leaving." Erza said with Ichigo laughing, but Grimmjow grabbed him by the collar.

"You think that's funny?" Grimmjow said.

"Yeah since you're an idiot." Ichigo said and the two of them started fighting with each other.

"Someone better lift the barrier or I'm going to lose it with these two." Erza said and she couldn't stand the fighting anymore. "Stop you're fighting at once!" That stare she gave did the trick because even Grimmjow got scared.

"Yes ma'am." Both of them said with fear. Erza sighed in relief and turned her attention back to the scoreboard.

"I just wish I knew Muramasa's reasons for doing this." Erza said. "There's still hope. Ichigo's team carries the heart of Fairy Tail with them. I'm sure your team won't let us down Ichigo."

"Yeah. There's also your team. I haven't seen Gray, Natsu, or Lucy lose anything yet." Ichigo said. "We still have a chance."

…

Muramasa

Muramas continued to see the results and the numbers continued to drop. He was most pleased with Chester watching as well.

"More than half have already been defeated. This is going faster than I expected." Chester said.

"Indeed. This is moving better than I thought. Chester, why don't you go and join in the fight?" Muramasa said.

"What about you?" Chester asked.

"I can handle myself. You better get going." Muramasa said.

"As you wish." Chester said and went to join the battle. Muramasa smirked that his plan was working. In a matter of hours, Fairy Tail could be brought down.

….

Uryu and Chad

Uryu and Chad were roaming around the city and they could see the destruction that was caused from all the fighting that was going on.

"Uryu, shouldn't we alert the citizens of what is happening?" Chad said.

"No. The Harvest Festival is suppose to be the best time of the year for Magnolia." Uryu said. "We can't let it be ruined. Not to mention it could cause a widespread panic."

"That would be a misfortune." They both looked ahead and saw Chester being assembled by a bunch of letters.

"He's one of them." Chad said.

"Yes and from the looks of things, he's the one behind the enchantments." Uryu said. He pulled out his bow and aimed it at him with Chad bringing out his Satan Soul arm. "Undo all of your enchantments at once."

"I don't think I'll be doing that. If you want them all to vanish, you'll have to come and get me." Chester said.

"Have it your way." Chad said. He stepped forward and threw his arm, but it passed right through Chester. "What?"

"Let me try." Uryu said as he fired an arrow, but it passed through Chester as well.

"I'm afraid those attacks aren't going to work." Chester said as he tapped his spear and showed they were in another barrier. "The rules in this area state that no magic can harm another."

"He fooled us." Uryu said.

"Yes, but my Letter Magic allows me to do this." Chester said. He swung his spear and struck Chad with letters appearing on him. He moved fast and did the same on Uryu.

"What is this?" Uryu questioned.

"Drain." Chester said. Then, for some reason, Chad and Uryu began to feel weak.

"What did you do?" Chad said.

"The enchantment prevents magic from harming another, but you two aren't being harmed." Chester said. "I used Letter Magic to be able to drain the energy out of your bodies."

"I never knew Letter Magic could be used like that." Uryu said as he and Chad were feeling weaker and weaker.

"It's only a matter of time until neither of you have any strength left. So I'll end things right now." Chester stated as his spear shined.

…..

The Guild

Another set of results appeared with Ichigo, Grimmjow, and Erza reading and they weren't pleased.

"Uryu vs. Chad vs. Chester. Winner: Chester." Erza read.

"I can't believe they were able to beat them." Ichigo said.

"Man, these guys are dropping like flies." Grimmjow said.

"You should never underestimate Fairy Tail. It doesn't end well for those who do." Erza said.

"Are you sure you're the strongest guild in Fiore? We gave you guys a run for your money." Grimmjow said.

"Yeah and look how that ended." Ichigo said as he reminded Grimmjow they ended up losing and that just got on his nerves.

"Numbers don't matter." Erza said. "I'm confident someone will stand up and be able to defeat Muramasa. Of course, their strategy is pretty good. They're divide the guild up and force them to fight each other. That practically leaves Muramasa and the other four to sit back until someone from the guild comes to them, but by the time they do, they might be worn out from fighting so hard."

"So they're trying to wear down some of our toughest guys to try and make it easier for them to beat us." Ichigo said.

"Looks like it's working. Just look at how many are left in the guild that's still fighting." Grimmjow said. Both of them looked to see that what started as one-hundred was brought down to a mere seven.

"Only seven remain?!" Erza said.

…

Outside Magnolia

Laxus was able to come back in time for the festival. He was just outside Magnolia, but upon his arrival, he saw a dome made from runes that covered the entire city.

"What the hell? What's going on?" Laxus said.

"That's what I like to know." Laxus looked behind him and saw Byakuya. "I just came back to try and enjoy the Harvest Festival. When I returned, this was surrounding the entire city."

"You think something strange is going on?" Laxus said.

"It's obvious that there is. It might be best to get in contact with Master Erza." Byakuya said. Two of Fairy Tail's S-Class wizards have came back just in time.

…..

The Guild

"I can't believe only seven are left. Who's left?" Ichigo said.

"I haven't seen Natus or Lucy's name in defeat. Neither have I seen Gray's." Erza said.

"I haven't seen Renji's or Rukia's." Ichigo said.

"Of course there's also the two of you." Erza said. "I can only hope this will be enough to end this insanity." Ichigo hated this. He's one of the few remaining, but there's nothing he can do until he gets free.

"Hey, what's this?" Grimmjow said. They all looked up and saw a bunch of pink petals flying into the guild.

"I bet I know who this is." Ichigo said. The petals all came together and formed Byakuya and a Thought Projection was made to create Laxus.

"Laxus and Byakuya! You came back just in time." Erza said.

"What's going on?" Laxus said.

"We both just got back and saw runes all over the city." Byakuya said.

"A mad man named Muramasa and four others has kidnapped the children and is forcing members of Fairy Tail to fight each other." Erza said. "Ichigo, Grimmjow, and myself can't leave because of an enchantment. At the moment only seven remain."

"I see." Byakuya said.

"Someone is reacting the Battle for Fairy Tail. You need our help to bring them down." Laxus said.

"Who is remaining?" Byakuya asked.

"Well, your sister for starters. So are Renji, Natsu, Lucy, and Gray. There's also me and Grimmjow, but we're stuck in here." Ichigo said.

"No need to worry. We'll take care of it." Laxus said. They all looked up and saw the number went up to nine.

"Looks like they've already recognized the two of you have returned." Erza said. Then, the number changed to ten.

"It went up again." Grimmjow said.

"But who could it be?" Laxus said.

"I can feel his magic power. I think you might be forgetting one other member." Erza said. "Someone who is out of town often."

"Oh you mean him." Ichigo said, but he didn't sound thrilled.

"Hey, fill me in. Who are you talking about?" Grimmjow said.

"Fairy Tail has one more S-Class wizard. His name is Ulquiorra." Erza said.

"But Erza, can we trust Ulquiorra? He doesn't open up to anyone." Ichigo said.

"Ichigo, Ulquiorra is still part of Fairy Tail. I'm sure he will help us regardless." Erza said. "In the meantime, Laxus and Byakuya, you need to find the men responsible for this and stop them."

"Understood." Byakuya said.

"Just tell us who put you guys in here and we'll find him." Laxus said and Erza put some thought in it.

"If I had to guess, I say it was the one with chestnut hair and carries a spear on his back." Erza said.

"Got it. We'll find them." Laxus said. Byakuya disassembled into petals and the Thought Projection was taken down.

"I like where this is going. This increases our chances greatly." Erza said.

…

Renji

"Damn it. Where the heck are those freaks?" Renji said as he looked around to try and find Muramasa and his comrades.

"Renji!" Renji looked down the street and saw Rukia.

"Rukia, glad to see you're still in one piece." Renji said.

"Yes, but many of our friends are hurt because of this." Rukia said. "We need to find those five and stop this." Renji agreed and that chance was coming as they heard a guitar playing.

"Rock on!" They both looked up to the roofs and saw Takameer. "Looks like I found more fairies who are about to have plucked wings."

"Looks like we found one." Rukia said.

"Come and get me." Takameer dared as he took off.

"Get back here!" Renji said as the two of them went after him. The two of them followed Takameer up to the mountains. "Where'd he go?" Both of them kept running until they tripped another enchantment. "Another one?"

"It says that only the victor may be allowed to leave." Rukia said.

"That's right. Then, that one can fight me." Takameer said as he came out of hiding.

"You rock-star wannabe. Let us out and fight us like a real man." Renji said.

"No chance. This is part of the game." Takameer said.

"I can't believe you would force us to fight our own friends." Rukia said.

"That's the way it's going to be." Takameer said. "We set it up so that your guild would be brought down. All that trash about Fairy Tail being close like family is nonsense. No guild is like that."

"What did you say?" Renji said.

"You think it's nonsense? Then, let me show you something you might find interesting" Rukia said as she made the hand position and powered up her magic.

"Rukia, what are you doing?" Renji said.

"What I must. A real Fairy Tail wizard will never harm another." Rukia said. She brought her hands to herself and blasted herself in the chest.

"Rukia!" Renji shouted. He ran to her aid for she got critically injured, but it caused the enchantment to break. "Rukia, why did you go and do that?"

"I had to." Rukia said. "It's obvious they don't understand the bonds that we share. They're trying to make us turn against each other, but we have to stay to our Fairy Tail ways. Renji, take him down." Those were her last words before she lost consciousness. Willing to sacrifice herself for her friends instead of harming them is a sign of a true Fairy Tail wizard

"Rukia!" Renji shouted.

"Whoa! I can't believe she went and did that." Takameer said. Renji got back to his feet and you can see the anger on his face.

"Let's go!" Renji screamed as he launched whips at him, but Takameer jumped back to avoid them.

"Man. You're mad, but that little girl is crazy." Takameer said. Speaking poorly about Rukia around Renji was a bad idea.

"You don't know anything about her!" Renji said as he charged right at him to continue the onslaught. Meanwhile, in another part of town, Gray was still going, but he could feel something was off. Gray was the one who taught Rukia how to use Ice-Make Magic and right now he could feel something was wrong with her.

…

Ichigo: You want to know another thing I love about Fairy Tail. Even when we're not related by blood, there are members that treat another like they are a family member.

Orihime: I know. There are those who see each other like siblings and others like parent and child.

Ichigo: Yeah. Just like how I see Natsu like my own Dad. You got to love it.

Orihime: I do. It's wonderful.

Ichigo: Next time: Ice and Celestial Vengeance

Orihime: That reminds me. What about your real parents, Ichigo?

Ichigo: What about yours?
